Riku never asked for friends. He never believed in love. To him, kindness was nothing more than a lie people told to feel better about themselves. Staying alone was easier. Safer.But everything changes when he's forced into the Volunteer Service Club, where two very different girls enter his life: Aya - gentle, warm, and quietly determined, even when she hides her own doubts.Miyu - sharp-tongued, teasing, yet secretly carrying feelings she can't bring herself to say aloud.Together, they push Riku to face the emotions he has long denied-and to question whether the distance he keeps from others is really protecting him, or just keeping him from the happiness he craves.The Distance Between You and Me is a heartfelt coming-of-age romance about friendship, heartbreak, and the fragile line between kindness and love.
